After a wonderful Tuesday night at St James' Park which saw Newcastle United demolish Everton 3-1 to claim consecutive victories for the first time this season, Newcastle are the hosts again this weekend as Steven Gerrard's Aston Villa roll into town.
Having just picked up two wins in a row for the first time, Eddie Howe's side immediately want to go one better and make it three, pulling them further away from the bottom three which they finally managed to escape on Tuesday evening.
Aston Villa had their own midweek fixture, as they played out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Leeds United at Elland Road. Gerrard's side had been behind before turning the game on its head to lead 3-1, only for Leeds to then peg them back again.
